PREFATORY  NOTE 


This  is  the  fourth  list  in  which  the  Division  of  Bibliography  has 
had  the  cooperation  of  the  State  and  Legislative  Keference  librarians 
throughout  the  country.  Additions  or  suggestions  were  received 
from  the  following  states: 

California.  Minnesota. 

Indiana.  New  York. 

Iowa.  Oregon. 

Kansas.  Pennsylvania. 

Massachusetts.  Texas. 

Michigan.  Wisconsin. 

The  list  is  shorter  than  its  predecessors,  being  on  a  more  limited 
but  very  definite  subject  which,  however,  lent  itself  readily  to  classi- 
fication under  the  headings^  General,  Favorable,  and  Opposed. 
References  on  any  particular  city  may  be  found  by  means  of  the  index. 

Most  of  the  references  are  to  periodical  and  pamphlet  literature, 
but  a  few  more  extended  discussions  may  be  found  in  Bradford's 
"Commission  government  in  American  cities,"  1911;  MacGregor's 
"City  government  by  commission,"  1911;  Hamilton's  ''Government 
by  commission."  1911;  and  Woodruff's  "City  government  by  com- 
mission," 1911.
